  SPEAKER_00: Hello, gorgeous souls.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to the Beauty and Positivity Podcast.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_00: My name is Alyssa Skinner.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to get right into the episode.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: Today we're going to talk about how feeling joy, which is the highest vibration, joy and love are the highest frequencies that you could possibly feel, and how they change your physiology, your physical body.
• 0:23
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm just going to talk about these studies that have proven this theory.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to go over some practices as well, how to implement this, how to practice this.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_00: So one of the practices I remember doing the very first time is about eight years ago now, and I was embarrassed, which is funny because I was by myself.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: So why was I embarrassed?
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: That showed me I need to get more comfortable with myself.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_00: So it worked.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_00: And I ended up laughing, and you know, I was feeling frustrated.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: I did the practice, and then I was laughing, and I was like, wow, okay, that worked.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so much better now.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: So I've definitely tried these and I know they work.
• 0:57
  SPEAKER_00: So when you are truly joyful, you're in a happy state, your body is healthier.
• 1:04
  SPEAKER_00: So we call it disease because your body is at dis-ease.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Your emotions are not at ease, and then your body is not at ease.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's a whole deep topic.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: Happy to do an episode on just that, but I'm just going to explain how it works in this episode today.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Plenty of people have come to the conclusion who have studied this, by the way, and have determined our emotions absolutely create our frequency, our aura, our vibration.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's cause and effect.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_00: Our emotions are telling our physical body how to respond.
• 1:39
  SPEAKER_00: You don't feel safe, your body freaks out.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: So let's say you're all angry, you know, the blood rushes to your face, to your limbs.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: You go into fight or flight mode.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_00: Or you start yelling at someone because your hearts are distant.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_00: Have you ever been in an argument with someone and you're yelling at each other, but yet you're just a couple feet away, you're yelling because your hearts feel so distant from each other.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: You feel far away from that person, even though you're so close together, energetically, you're not close to this person.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_00: And so your body's responding to that energy and it's getting worked up and it's yelling.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: You're physically yelling, and you're having to get up and move.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people have to leave that energy.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: People get up and they walk away.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_00: And a lot of people frown upon that.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think that's healthy.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: I think your body naturally responds and it just wants to get out of that uncomfortable energy for a moment, decompress and then come back.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Some people shut down, some people go into freeze.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: You can fight, flight, or freeze.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: Either way, your body physically responds to the emotion that takes over.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: So when you are fearful, your energy goes into all your limbs.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_00: The blood literally leaves your prefrontal cortex, I'm pretty sure.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like the frontal lobe, I think those are the same thing, but it leaves our decision-making part of our brain, which is why we do dumb shit when we're upset.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: And it goes straight to our limbs so that we can physically respond.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: So the positive side of this, when you are truly joyful, you're in a state of joy, your body is healthier.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Your body's responding to that high frequency emotion.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: So, for example, there was a study in Japan, two groups, all patients in both groups had type 2 diabetes.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was type 2, don't quote me.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: They were all dependent on insulin.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_00: So that's the point here.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't know, insulin removes the sugar from your bloodstream and it stores it into the cells for energy later.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Our body does this naturally, but people with diabetes are dependent on outsourcing insulin because their body doesn't produce enough.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_00: So it's a storing hormone, insulin.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: So they put one group, group A, into a room, and group A get gets to watch a comedy show for one hour.
• 4:00
  SPEAKER_00: They're all laughing, they're enjoying themselves, right?
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: High vibes, good vibes, comedy is great, laughing feels great.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, most people when they're dating, they want someone who's funny.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: They want someone to make them laugh or laugh with them or laugh at their jokes because our soul, deep down, understands laughter is joy, and it's the highest frequency we can be in.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's why we crave that so much, or we crave love so much.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: Highest frequency you can be in.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: Our soul knows to seek those things in life.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: So another group, group B, was put into a room for an hour and they had to watch a boring lecture.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_00: So, not a conspiracy theorist, but definitely gets you thinking about our system and how we're put into a room for half of the day to listen to a lecture, K through 12, and then college four years plus.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: Anyways, definitely makes you wonder how healthy that is for our system.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: So at the end of the hour, moving on, both parties, A and B, both groups were served a meal.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now remember, they all have diabetes, they're all dependent on insulin.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: Usually you take that insulin right before your meal.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_00: The group who had to sit during the boring lecture, their blood sugar raised 123 milligrams, which means they're dependent on insulin at that point to get out of the danger zone.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: Group A, who got to watch the comedy show, blood sugar 70 milligrams, about half of that.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: Literally raised half of what the boring lecture group experienced.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_00: I have chills.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_00: Like, what do you mean?
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Laughing for one hour can make you physically healthier.
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: That is how quick that can happen.
• 5:39
  SPEAKER_00: So this is just one study, but it absolutely matters what we consume.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_00: It's not just a crime show documentary.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_00: It's actually affecting your physiology, your cells, your body, your health, because of the emotions you're feeling, your cortisol is raising, or maybe it's fearful.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not here to tell you don't enjoy the things you enjoy.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, do what you enjoy.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: It's just educating ourselves on our body, our physiology, how our emotions and our physiology correspond.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: And um we if we don't study these things, we don't know that the external factors are potentially affecting our health, right?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_00: And then we're never aware of it, and then we're never intentional with it.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: So, um, you know, speaking of that, there was a photo trending on social media, and it was a man before war and after war.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_00: I don't even think he was at war for a year, it was less than a year, and he aged 40 years.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: This man was like 20 and he looked 60 when he got out.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_00: So sad, absolutely hurts my heart, but there's just evidence all around us that our external environment, our emotions, that the external environment is kind of um reflecting onto us, I guess, because we do get to choose if something bothers us, easier said than done, but our emotions really determine our physical health, and our body is showing us what emotions we're feeling most of the time.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: When I started loving myself more, first off, I learned like eight years ago that I didn't love myself, and I was like, wait, what do you mean?
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Of course I love myself, I deserve everything in the world.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: What do you mean?
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_00: I'm awesome.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's like consciously we love ourselves, but deep down or subconsciously, we might not, and we might not be aware of it.
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_00: So I do yoga one time, and this is like two weeks after a really hard breakup of mine, and I'm doing yoga, and she puts her hands on me and she says, You are beautiful.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: And she meant she meant meant it, she meant it, and I just started crying, and I was like, I don't believe that.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my gosh, I don't love myself.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: What the heck?
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: And I was so vul vulnerable, and that was the moment I realized all my patterns were stemming from a self-worth problem, a self-love issue, a lack of self-love.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: And now, of course, I love myself.
• 7:55
  SPEAKER_00: I've done so much work, so much mirror work, reading, meditation, yoga, grounding, walking, exercising, anything to make myself feel good.
• 8:03
  SPEAKER_00: I did the hard shadow work.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, I've shared before I put perfume on my wrist before I go to bed at night.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I just love things that make me feel feminine and luxurious.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: I have my slow morning routines, I walk differently, I treat myself differently.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_00: Before all the fluff, though, right?
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_00: Before the fluff, because perfume on the wrist, a luxury shower, that's all superficial.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_00: That's all fluff.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: But it helps maintain the work that I did.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: It helps me maintain that vibration of all the shadow work that I did.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_00: And so the shadow work was just getting deep.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: You know, why don't I love myself?
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: What part of myself do I refuse to face or accept?
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I shameful?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_00: Where do I come short?
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: Do I know how to apologize to people?
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_00: Do I know how to love myself?
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_00: Do I put myself first?
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Do I have grace for myself and for others?
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: Everything in our life is a mirror of ourselves.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_00: What we don't love about ourselves, where we need work.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_00: And it took me a moment to comprehend that if we don't love ourselves, we can't love the person we're with.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_00: And at first, you know, I didn't I couldn't make sense of that.
• 9:14
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, I don't know.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: I can definitely love someone more than I love myself, which that that's not a thing.
• 9:19
  SPEAKER_00: But it's easy to think that consciously.
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: But if you keep just doing this work, it will all make sense because it took me a minute and now I totally get it.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: But we project all of our lack, our lack of self-love, and then we blame others for not loving ourselves enough or loving us the way we deserve to be loved.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: But really, it's just mirroring us not loving ourselves, and it has nothing to do with them.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: So, with that being said, I look at old pictures of myself.
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: This story has a purpose.
• 9:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, it's, I promise.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: I look at old pictures of myself and I look so much different.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm literally more swollen, like for a lack of better word.
• 9:58
  SPEAKER_00: I'm just more swollen, I'm more plump.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: I was just holding on to so much emotion and like my physiology held on to extra body fat as a safety mechanism.
• 10:08
  SPEAKER_00: You know, I was like holding on to excess body fat for protection.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_00: My, you know, energetically, spiritually, I did not feel safe.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I didn't trust people or whatever it was that my physical body was responding by holding on to excess fat.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_00: I was I literally had walls up energetically that my body responded to that.
• 10:29
  SPEAKER_00: So when people ask how I lost weight, I genuinely am like a little apprehensive to answer because saying, Oh, I love myself more is like kind of sounds pretentious.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_00: You're just like, what, girl?
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, just say if you did the shot, you know?
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I was really afraid people were gonna think I did that because I didn't do that.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_00: And the truth is, I really watched myself lean out over the course of one year.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you guys, one year.
• 10:55
  SPEAKER_00: The year I did all the the stuff that's in my line babe academy, all that work and practice, that was the year I did all that stuff, and I walked out a whole year, 2025.
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: I literally leaned out.
• 11:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's just I can't make it up.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_00: It's a literally coincidence, if you want to say, but it was absolutely loving and accepting myself more.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_00: I did the hard freaking work um of just self-love, you know, not like not physical work exercise, not that.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: And so plenty of mirror work as well.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'll read comments of people saying, You're glowing, how are you glowing?
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, I could cry because I'm like, oh, finally, all the work I've done to love and accept myself is showing, right?
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: My body's finally mirroring that.
• 11:41
  SPEAKER_00: And so I just finally felt like ease and love and safety within myself.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: I'm confident who I am.
• 11:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, with that being said, I want you to look at your life because this is the shadow work and think, where am I not accepting myself?
• 11:58
  SPEAKER_00: Where do I feel shame or where do I deny parts of myself that I'm not proud of?
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I not um, where am I stressing myself out?
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: Where am I blaming someone for the thoughts I was actually thinking about myself?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: Right?
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_00: If you feel uncomfortable in an outfit and then someone's looking at you, you assign them your thoughts.
• 12:18
  SPEAKER_00: They're not looking at you going, ew, she shouldn't be wearing that.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: You were feeling uncomfortable, right?
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's like out of your comfort zone.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: And I I used to be this person.
• 12:27
  SPEAKER_00: We we blame other people for our own insecurities, our own discomfort, our own lack of self-love.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: Everything's a mirror, it's just our projection.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: We're not meaning to, of course not.
• 12:40
  SPEAKER_00: It's just that's the shadow work.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_00: You have to accept, okay, this is what I think about myself, not others.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_00: Ask yourself what area of life could I have more grace for myself in?
• 12:52
  SPEAKER_00: What area could I improve in?
• 12:55
  SPEAKER_00: So, okay, to the practices.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna mention, or I mentioned we're gonna do um like one or two practices.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_00: One of them I got from Tony Robbins.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_00: I learned this literally a decade ago.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: He's been teaching it much longer than that, I'm sure.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_00: But this I did it for the very first time in the car, and I remember I put my rear view mirror onto myself.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_00: I was having a rough morning.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_00: I was irritable.
• 13:18
  SPEAKER_00: I was like, okay, this is the perfect moment to practice this.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm not in the frequency or the emotion that I want to be in.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_00: So let's see if this can actually change my physiology.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: So I look in the mirror and I smile as big as I can, like a crazy person.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_00: And I was like, oh my gosh, that is so embarrassing.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: What am I doing?
• 13:36
  SPEAKER_00: And I felt crazy.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like a crazy person.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_00: You're just like, this is so fake right now.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, this is so nonsense.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: I'm so, I'm so frustrated.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: And you just keep doing it, and then you fake laugh, fake laugh as loud as you can, and you feel silly, and so you kind of laugh at yourself, and suddenly the emotion changes.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_00: You went from irritable to kind of like hopeful of like, all right, you know, uh, maybe it's not that bad.
• 14:00
  SPEAKER_00: You just kind of laugh at yourself because you feel like a dork.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: It absolutely works.
• 14:05
  SPEAKER_00: And I will say, you do not need a mirror to do this.
• 14:08
  SPEAKER_00: You simply have to change your physiology.
• 14:11
  SPEAKER_00: If you are feeling an emotion of you know anger or frustration, just smile really big and just feel like a crazy person because smiling sends a signal to your body, literally sends a signal to your body of like, okay, we are not mad anymore.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: Hello.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: So it's so silly, but it's a correlation.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: And in fact, there's another universal law, the law of correlation.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_00: I teach this in my enlightened babe academy as well.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_00: As above, so below, as within, so without.
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_00: So meaning if your emotions can change your frequency or your physiology, your emotions or the frequency that you're vibrating at changes your physical body, then your physiology changes your emotions, your frequency.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: If a plus b, then b plus a, same result.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: That means your physiology, your body language, your facial expression, that's all your physiology, can change your emotion, which is why when you're frustrated and you feel your arms crossed and you're just like pissed off, you know, your boss or your partner or that guy just cut you off, whatever, you're feeling the heavy frown on your face.
• 15:25
  SPEAKER_00: Smile like a crazy person, as big as you can.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: And that physiology, changing your body language, changing your facial expression, changes your emotion.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now you're vibrating at a completely higher vibration.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: And you can do multiple practices this way.
• 15:44
  SPEAKER_00: So you can uncross your arms, uncross your legs, open up more, open up your heart energy a little bit more.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_00: And then suddenly you're feeling a little bit more comfortable because your physiology changed, and so now your emotion changed.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_00: And vice versa, change your emotion, choose to feel happy, and then you'll feel your body naturally open up.
• 16:04
  SPEAKER_00: You might come up with your own personal way of doing these things.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: These helped me a lot.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, earlier I mentioned too when we feel distant from people in an argument, even though we're close physically, we're yelling because energetically we're so distant from one another.
• 16:20
  SPEAKER_00: You can use that practice to your advantage too, and just realize that um it's happening and become aware of the situation.
• 16:29
  SPEAKER_00: You're like, okay, it's happening.
• 16:31
  SPEAKER_00: Kind of analyze, observe from outside of your body.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_00: Don't really just feel it.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_00: Look at it from a neutral standpoint as if you're like watching yourself and another person argue.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then come back into yourself, lower your voice, take a breath, because exhaling is changing your physiology.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's a physical response.
• 16:52
  SPEAKER_00: Exhale the frustration, the stress, slow down.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_00: Naturally, your heart rate will slow.
• 16:58
  SPEAKER_00: It slows down the energy, and then speak to them again, calmer this time.
• 17:03
  SPEAKER_00: Now they're not feeling like they have to be so loud and defensive, but give them a minute.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: It might not happen immediately.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_00: Be consistent.
• 17:11
  SPEAKER_00: They didn't just do the work that you just did.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_00: So if you do it long enough, you speak to them calmly, okay.
• 17:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, slowly your hearts come closer together again.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how this turned into an argument, um, how to, you know, tame an argument, but it has to do with emotions and physiology.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: You are providing a safe space for yourself first, the other person feels that.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: Now they feel a little bit safer.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: Your s your hearts slowly come back together, which means you're energetically come backing come coming back together, and then you're physically coming back together.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_00: And after I learned this information, I was suddenly just like so glad that I lean towards comedies.
• 17:56
  SPEAKER_00: I love a comedy show, I love comedy movies, stand-up, any of it.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_00: I love to be silly, I want to laugh, I want to be around people that make me laugh.
• 18:04
  SPEAKER_00: That's just my goal in life is be happy.
• 18:07
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, to attract those types of people, happy, go-lucky people, we have to be that person too.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: So become and then naturally you attract.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_00: I hope you enjoyed today's episode.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sending you so much love and success.
• 18:22
